LOS ANGELES 



THE GREAT SEAPORT 

OF THE 

SOUTHWEST 







Cyrus «ehr 
July 7, 1931

N issuing this booklet, the Board of 
Harbor Commissioners has endeav- 
ored to place before the general 
public, in an intelligible, concise and 
graphic way, the main features of inter- 
est and importance connected with Los 
Angeles Harbor. 

In developing this idea, the Board has 
thought it fitting to present the informa- 
tion concerning the port pictorially as well 
as typographically, rather than to con- 
form entirely to the customary printed 
page. 

By referring to a map of the harbor, 
which should accompany this booklet, but 
may be obtained from any of the offices 
of the Harbor Department, practically all 
of the places illustrated may be definitely 
located by use of the berth numbers 
shown on the map, and in this booklet. 

The Board of Harbor Commissioners 
indulges the hope that study of the fol- 
lowing pages will aid in disseminating 
information concerning the harbor, and 
in creating a more lively interest in affairs 
of the Port.

Los Angeles. It shows concretely the 
huge distribution territory available to 
manufacturers at Los Angeles. 



Note particularly the clotted line 
drawn from Los Angeles to the Cana- 
dian border. This line when it passes 
the Northern California Cities shows 
them to be two hundred and fifty miles 
farther west than Los Angeles.

INFORMATION 

CONCERNING 

PORT of LOS ANGELES 

1921 



HISTORICAL AND GEOGRAPHICAL 

What is now the Port of Los Angeles was discovered in 1542, and the City 
was founded in 1781. 

Present harbor lines were established by the War Department in 1908. 
Consolidation with Los Angeles of the harbor cities of San Pedro and Wil- 
mington was effected in 1909. 

The geographical position of the Port is Latitude 33° 43' North; Longitude 
118° 16' West. 

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS 

The City of Los Angeles has expended on the improvement of its waterfront 
$7,800,000.00 and has available $7,000,000.00 for further improvements. 

The United States Government has expended approximately $6,000,000.00 
on the breakwater, dredging and jetty work. Appropriations available for fur- 
ther Federal projects amount to $984,300.00. 

GOVERNMENT BREAKWATER 

The Breakwater is 2.11 miles long. The revolving light on the seaward 
end is 73 feet high, is of 67,000 candle power, and has a range of 14 miles. 

WHARVES AND PIERS 

Municipal wharves are of standard construction; 10,780 feet being of wooden 
piles, creosoted, and deck, and 3,120 feet being of reinforced concrete piles and 
deck. Depth of water in channels leading to the wharves is indicated on the 
map, which will be furnished on request. 

Private wharves total approximately 24,000 feet and are practically all of 
wooden construction. 

TRANSIT SHEDS AND WAREHOUSES 

The city owns and operates 5 transit sheds, having a uniform width of 100 
net. and a combined length of 4,430 feet. There are also 585 feet of umbrella 
sheds. 

All of these improvements are accessible by rail and paved roads. Ware- 
house No. 1 is a six-story and basement building of reinforced concrete, 152 
feet by 482 feet in size, and with a cubical capacity of 4,604,400 feet. It is 
located on Pier No. 1, is admirably served by rail and paved street, and is 
equipped with electric elevators, whip hoists, and trucks. A portion of this 
warehouse is bonded. 



46 



OIL LOADING FACILITIES 

The General Pipe Line Company has an 8-inch and a 12-inch oil pipe line to 
its loading stations on the Breakwater and can supply two vessels simul- 
taneously. 

This company has an oil line direct from the Midway field, and has a stor- 
age capacity at the harbor of 962,500 barrels. 

The Standard Oil Company, located near the main turning basin, has direct 
pipe line connection with the oil fields, and has in the harbor storage capacity 
of 460,000 barrels. 

This company can load into two tankers simultaneously at the rate of 
12,000 barrels per hour. 

The Union Oil Company is now constructing a large refinery on a 260-acre 
tract at the head of the West Basin. 

This company's plans include the necessary pipe lines and facilities for 
loading ships. 

Oil lines are also installed on some commercial wharves, thus permitting 
the working of cargo and taking on fuel simultaneously. 

RAILROADS 

All waterfront improvements are served on the same terms by the Santa 
Fe, Southern Pacific, Salt Lake, and Pacific Electric Railway Companies. 

This has been accomplished by the Municipal Terminal Railway, operated 
at present by the Pacific Electric Railway Company as agent of the City. 

The Municipal Terminal System now has approximately fourteen miles of 
trackage. 

THE FISHING INDUSTRY 

This is becoming one of the important industries of the port. Fishing boats 
numbering 325 are engaged in fishing for the canneries and the wholesale 
markets. 

The City has furnished a modern building for the use of wholesale fish 
dealers and has constructed lockers for use of the fishermen. 

Fifteen canneries are engaged in packing tuna, sardines and other fish. 

LUMBER 

Los Angeles is the largest import lumber port in the world. The following 

figures for the five fiscal A^ears past show the volume of this business: 

BOARD FT. VALUE 

1917 602,397,568 $11,908,399

1921 589,233.451 20,141,355 

SHIPBUILDING 

Two yards building steel vessels arc working on Government and private 
contracts. 

The Los Angeles Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company operates a 12,000- 
ton floating dry dock in connection with its yard in the \\ est Basin. 

The shipyards employ about 4,000 men. 

TIDELANDS 

The City has 1,581 acres of tideland, of which 916 acre- have been reclaimed. 
Much of the remainder will be reclaimed in the near future. 

Under the law, tidelands cannot be sold, but may be leased for not to ex- 
ceed 30 years for industrial and commercial purposes. Revocable permits arc, 
under certain circumstances, issued for other purposes. 

About 370 acres are now under lease.

handled through the port for the last six fiscal years:

whose master has a pilot's license for this port, may be brought in by the 
master without a municipal pilot and without payment of pilotage fees. 

Pilotage fees are as follows:

tered ton outward bound. 

This does not apply to any vessel entering or leaving the port of Los

In the event that any vessel under register is brought into Los Angeles 
Harbor by any person other than the master thereof, or if the commanding 
officer thereof shall purpose to have any such vessel piloted out of the port 
of Los Angeles by any person other than the master thereof, the officer in com-
